  Indian reservation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Canada an Indian reserve is a similar institution, although its history is markedly different from that of the reservation in the U.S. There are about 300 Indian reservations in the United States, meaning not all of the country's 500-plus recognized tribes have a reservation--indeed, some tribes have more than one reservation, others have none.
Indian reservations often have their own systems of government, which may or may not replicate the forms of government found outside the reservation.
The U.S. policy of creating reservations for Native Americans was established during the Presidential administration of Ulysses S. Grant in the late 1860s in response to the perceived "Indian problem" of growing conflicts between U.S. settlers and Native American tribes in the West.
